Han Solo has been kidnapped by the evil crime lord Jabba the Hutt. The smuggler-turned-rebel is trapped in carbonite inside a seemingly impenetrable fortress. Pig-like Gamorreans guard every entrance, Jabba's majordomo Bib Fortuna is ever watchful, and there are rumors of a ferocious Rancor lurking somewhere in the palace… If one can get past those obstacles, there are bound to be all sorts of other scum and villainy loitering about. However, Jabba has underestimated the lengths our heroes will go to in order to rescue their friend. At this very moment Princess Leia Organa is undercover in the palace, and Luke Skywalker, having completed his Jedi training, is on the way…

In addition to 9 new squads and heroes, this release also contains an exciting set...

Codex: Relaunch
In May of 2015, the Heroscapers Codex released Issue Nine of its second volume: Rebirth. In the editor’s note, we explained that this was the last print issue. We mentioned vague details about a site upgrade, rumored to be coming in June of 2015, which would allow us to continue online.

We are here to tell you that the long wait is finally over. The Heroscapers Codex is back!

When we shut down in May, our plan was to restart in June when the site would be upgraded. In the meantime, we decided to sort out some organizational issues and get ready for the relaunch.

Unfortunately the site upgrade has been delayed for quite a while now. After a few months, we realized we needed to stop waiting and develop a new plan. So, with the help of Xotli, we set up a new account for the Codex. New Codex articles will now appear on the blog...

The first SSE is an Episode IV flashback: the Tusken Snipers. A Tusken Sniper was first seen in Episode IV taking aim at Luke in his landspeeder as he and C-3PO went searching for R2-D2. The Tusken Snipers were then made more famous by their antics at the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace in Episode I, as they fired on passing podracers.

The Tusken Snipers add a dangerous ranged component to a Tusken Army (or any army) that even Jedi will fear.
